Well yeah, it's a weapon.
Or rather, it's a random bomb. It will do 'something'...
And that something is more likely to be dangerous to Axcel's health if it's embedded in his torso right?
Also, more blood = more magic, since Axcel's blood is an ingredient.

It might turn all of Axcel's blood into goo.
It might explode violently.
It might turn his natural hair color red.
It might supercharge Axcel and make him all buffed and shit.
It might turn him into a unicorn that farts rainbows and has a digestion problem.

Whatever it is it's probably very damn volatile.
